My calculations bring a 2.47 rating. That will probably be rounded up slightly and it depends if there was any significant difference in how many had their TV's switched on from last week, but it's looking at a 2.4-2.5

To add also: Monday Night Football had 500,000 extra viewers than last week. From a 16.1m to 16.6m

hour 2 dropped big time from last week, specially it's the hour that people usually tune in. I guess its gonna be a 2.5 rating. They should drop the three hour show, they have a thin roster with half of them not having enough credibility or a deserved spot. They also should make it about Raw roster not a supershow, people will have no reason to watch SD anymore as they saw enough, therefore less viewers.

Well deserved rating. They put no effort into the show and they get what they deserve. Even though this hurts the argument for Punk even kind of being a draw, it doesn't matter. I'm glad the rating was low. A shit show is a shit show, even if one guy brings a bright spot to it.

Hopefully they start actually trying next week on. And that doesn't mean just throwing Cena at everything, because even he can't bring the ratings back up to where they should be on his own (though him being on the show will put them back in the right direction).
